On the 25 June 2012, in Brussels, Neelie Kroes, Vice-President of the European Commission responsible for the Digital Agenda, in her presentation of "A European Cloud strategy" at the Economic Council Symposium spoke of Helix-Nebula when discussing 'Cloud-Computing – Between growth opportunities and privacy': "Modern science depends on a huge amount of data: the Cloud offers a fast and flexible way to store, process and share it. Even for scientists working in different disciplines or different countries, hundreds of kilometres apart. That's why a number of prominent research centres, for example CERN and the European Space Agency, have teamed up to launch a massive Cloud computing effort, Helix Nebula".
